Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . .

Thanks @last_lemming for clarifying.  Very helpful!

Wow, sorry to hear your story.

I needed to buy a house quickly… in a few days… corporate move. We whizzed through homes… the one we chose was big, and had an office, big open area and library / fireplace area on the ground floor (under ground on three sides). The big area I identified as the a great location for my system. This area turns out to be an incredible audio area. It is asymmetrical in every respect… and sounds simply spectacular. My audio guy has installed $200K+ systems for 20 years and said it is the best space he has ever heard.

It is better to be lucky than good. (You can see the space under my USerID. Everything is asymmetrical about it… even the ceiling.

Just because some seemed to inquire, whereas some scoff 'n cough...

Room eq to nominal flat in a sh*tty space as a baseline.
Not bass line, but that's where the sub may get tweaked according to mood.

Since I wear aids, I experiment with matching the eq of the aids to approximating what I hear with them without having to wear them...for a break, or when the recharge is due...

Since I'm the primary listener 99% of the time, it's not a bother to anyone.
(Mostly upper mids to the usual high-end loss...in a memory setting, so it's just a touch away....*S*)

What a great number of responses! Hey, whatever floats your boat. It’s your system. You do what you like. My dac has an equalizer. I’ve not touched it. Maybe I will. 

Had an equalizer in the 80’s and 90’s, tried to use it for each song and it was a waste of time. I’d be adjusting the equalizer during the song and the song was either over or near over and my equalizer would be tuned, so I really didn’t hear the song and back then, most of my music was on vinyl and you never want to play a track on vinyl over and over without damaging the vinyl
